Bharatnatyam is an Indian traditional dance genre from Tamil Nadu. Hip-hop refers to a variety of street dance techniques that are largely performed to grooving music.

Another video gained attraction worldwide last month, which showed a group of French dancers performing Bharatnatyam on "Snehithane Snehithane" - a song from Tamil film Alaipayuthey.
